My Nissan Terrano has short (6000 miles) service intervals. Now that it is no longer under warranty I am wondering whether it would be possible go
I presume it's diesel? The main thing you have to do is to change the oil and oil filter and I wouldn't advocate nearly doubling the recommended service period. You might get away with it but oil is fairly cheap so why bother. Screwfix will sell you a gallon of reasonable oil for about 8 squid and an oil filter's only about a fiver or so. The rest of the servicing is often mainly inspection judging by the owners service books for the last two cars I've owned.
If it is the 2.7 unit then it is fairly essential to change the oil every
6000 miles due to the amount of soot contamination. However, if you are a high milage driver with many long journies then 10,000 miles should be OK as long as you use a truck oil meeting API CH4 or ACEA E3.Huw
